Police, armed with a search warrant from the Criminal Court, raided a house in Nonthaburi’s Sai Noi district on Wednesday and arrested a suspect identified as Warongchai Kansri.
The suspect later provided clues, which led the police to five more locations in both Bangkok and Nonthaburi, where they arrested seven more suspects.
All eight were taken to the Metropolitan Police Bureau for questioning.
A police source said the investigators are not yet confident as to whether Warongchai was the one who fired at the student and teacher. The source said police are still interrogating the eight suspects for information to establish who were the gunmen.
The source added that Metropolitan Police chief Pol Lt-General Thiti Saengsawang would be present at the interrogation.
The eight suspects are accused of being involved in the November 11 shooting and fatally injuring Thanasorn Hongsawat, 19, a first-year student at Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok Uthenthawai.
